Shocked face: FBI reveals how mistaken identity by ICE led to chase, shooting of Venezuelan immigrant in north Minneapolis www.startribune.com/fbi-reveals-...
![In a sworn affidavit, FBI Special Agent Timothy Schanz provides details that contradict what U.S. Department of Homeland Security [DHS] officials initially stated - and later repeated for
several days - about the highly charged encounter.
Schanz's account shows how an attempted traffic stop by two ICE agents did not involve the man they ultimately shot, 34-year- old Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis. The newly unsealed records more closely align with witness accounts provided to the Minnesota
Star Tribune this week](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2yhglxsi2owchryafic2gmr3/bafkreiejkz6imx6bxx37pi7uztwml6jnuyjixsrq3wyirs2dkredbziwmm@jpeg)

After ICE agents shot people in Minneapolis tonight, a crowd faced them down and eventually chased them away, despite federal mercenaries and police shooting a tremendous amount of tear gas.
ICE agents abandoned vehicles in the area, containing IDs, paperwork, license plates, and operational plans.

For people outside Minneapolis: North is the historically Black part of the city. It's been heavily disinvested from, gutted by the 2008 mortgage crisis, and got hit by a tornado which did damage you can still see from aerial photos. It's no mistake ICE is going after more vulnerable populations.
i feel for the people of north minneapolis if they’re about to become a protest hot spot from outside the neighborhoods. this is an area often neglected and ignored by even its own elected officials. people not from over north should really be judicious in how they act coming over there
Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.
Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.
BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.
